Esther said with a smile, and immediately shattered the goodwill he had accumulated since little Reina. Seeing the hungry little wolves were still scrambling to eat the barbecue, Esther's face appeared on his face. His smile was even brighter, and the twisted smile really looked like a villain.

"..."

Seeing Esther who was gradually letting go of herself, Reina didn't know what to say, so she could only stare at the fire in a daze.It's impossible for her to hate Esther. After all, they saved her life and gave her food, clothes and clothes. They have no intention of hurting herself at all. How can such a person be hated?

"Okay, it's time for a good boy to go to bed, staying up late is not good for your health. 』

After a while, the moon was upright in the sky, and everything in the forest had fallen into silence. Except for the sound of Esther flipping through the book, only the crackling of the bonfire could be heard.

"Um..."

When Esther said this, Reina felt a sense of sleepiness, and she found a place with more leaves and lay down.

"You're going to catch a cold. 』

Esther glanced at Little Reina and said, controlling the tentacles on her body, she took out a blanket and gently covered Little Reina's body. A thinner blanket was also placed on the ground to ensure that she Reina felt relieved after she didn't feel cold.

"thanks. 』

Little Reina, who was full of chills, gradually warmed up after covering her with the blanket. This kind of warmth was unprecedented. Little Reina felt that she had lived for so many years, and she didn't know what true warmth is until today.

"..."

The warmth quickly made Little Lena feel strongly sleepy, but even so, Little Leina still couldn't fall asleep.When people get one thing, they will have new desires, and the little Lena, who feels the warmth, starts to ask for other things.

shuh... shuh...

Hearing Esther's flipping through the book, Little Reina's curiosity was attracted, and she glanced at the book in Esther's hand. She didn't know what language it was written in. The content was not something that Little Reina could read. It was completely different from the book full of stories and pictures she imagined in her mind.

"Aster..."

"Um? 』

"Book..."

"Book? 』

For the first time, Esther felt that she didn't understand Xiao Leina's words. She didn't understand what the book about blacksmithing in her hand could attract children, which made Xiao Leina interested.Besides, can a demon from a small village like Reina understand the language of dwarves?Esther thinks this is impossible.

"Book......"

Little Lena blushed and spoke in a tone that was almost pleading. Her pitiful eyes looked particularly endearing. Esther witnessed this scene and had the idea of ​​wanting to hug each other, although it was not the first time. Holding someone else, but this time the feeling is stronger than any other time.

"Yes...want to hear a story? 』

"Um..."

Thinking of Lena's age, Aster quickly understood that Lena wanted to listen to bedtime stories. Children like her like to fall asleep listening to stories. Aster also understands this. Although he also read it from another book.

"Let me think about it. 』

"Uh-huh! 』

Esther promised herself to tell a bedtime story, which was a very happy thing for Little Lena. What she had been dreaming about was about to come true, and the innocent little Lena showed her sincerity. smile.

"A long, long time ago there was a little girl..."

After some thought, Esther began to tell the fairy tale that he had just made up, and Little Lena gradually fell asleep listening to Esther's somewhat awkward story.

[-]. Two people who are temporarily separated under the sun

This is the most peaceful and comfortable sleep Xiaoleina has ever had in her life. The warm quilt has interesting stories and interesting people. The opening of this winter is also the happiest in history.

The newly born sun shines through the woods in this dead place. The originally beautiful forest has withered a little because of Esther's physique. In the small dead place, Little Lena woke up on a bed made of flowers. come over.

"Um..."

Little Leina opened her eyes in confusion, and looked at the surrounding forest that seemed to be like an underworld without any fluctuations, and her body was still warm, which made Little Leina want to sleep.

"Hum~hum~hum~"

However, just when Little Lena was about to get back into the bed, a familiar voice came from her ears. Astor was cooking food just like last night. The iron pot on the bonfire exuded a tempting fragrance. It was a scent that Little Lena could not smell in any house in the village.

Gollum~ Gollum~

Smelling this fragrance, Little Reina's stomach bulged, and her mind that was still confused now only has the thought of wanting to eat.

"Um? 』

After tidying up her clothes a little, Xiaoleina realized that the floor she was sleeping on had been replaced by a bed made of flowers. The heart is greatly satisfied.

"Yo, good morning! 』

The movement made by Little Reina caught Esther's attention, she greeted Little Reina, turned around and continued to stir the iron pot with a spoon.

"Good morning. 』

Little Leina also politely responded to Esther's greeting, walked to the familiar stone from last night and sat down, her eyes fixed on the food in the iron pot, if it wasn't for her brain With a hint of rationality, Little Lena was about to rush over and grab Esther's spoon to take a sip. Just now, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but keep saliva.

"Wait a moment, the porridge will be cooked quickly, and the meat will be difficult to taste if it is not cooked for a little longer. 』

Looking at Little Lena, this little greedy cat, Aster smiled knowingly. She took out some different seasonings from yesterday and put it in it and stirred it. After the smell of the meat porridge was completely dissipated, Aster used wood The bowl was filled with a bowl and sent to Little Lena with tentacles.

"Be careful......"

"hot! ! ! 』

Esther just wanted to remind Xiao Leina that the porridge just came out of the pot is very hot, but before she could say anything, Xiao Leina couldn't help sticking out her tongue and licking it, and the result was naturally scorched by the hot porridge. It was hot, and the whole tongue was burned and lost consciousness.

"Really... is it necessary to be in such a hurry when no one is fighting with you?Keep this water in your mouth and it should make you feel better. 』

Esther took out the water bottle and filled it up on a simple cup made of bamboo and handed it to Reina.Xiao Leina put the meat porridge in her hands aside, and poured it into her mouth with both hands in her hands. The cool water contained in her mouth, and her tongue, which was still aching, was relieved.

"Ha~hu~ha~hu~"

After she had nothing to do with her tongue, Xiaoleina couldn't wait to pick up the bowl again. This time she didn't dare to be so rash, and she blew on the porridge in the bowl for a long time before she dared to take a mouthful.

"Hot...delicious! 』

However, simply blowing air without a spoon did not cool down the meat porridge so quickly. Little Lena, who drank the meat porridge, still felt a scalding hot feeling. Fortunately, this time, it was not as difficult as it was at the beginning. Barely still acceptable.

At the same time, there is the rich meat aroma of meat porridge in the mouth. It is only a light meat porridge, but it exudes a different kind of deliciousness. Just drinking such a sip, Xiaoleina feels that her body that has just cooled down is warmed up again, and her whole brain is warmed up again. They are all enjoying the delicious meat porridge.

A large pot of porridge was quickly resolved, and most of it went into Xiao Leina's stomach. On the contrary, Esther, who made this pot of porridge, didn't eat much. After all, he made it himself, and he could eat it whenever he wanted. Alright, at this time, it's natural to let the hungry little Reina eat.

"thanks..."

It is also a sincere thanks. This time, Xiao Leina is dedicated to Esther's delicious meat porridge. It is rare to eat the best food in the world. Xiao Leina feels that she has no regrets in her life.

"If you like it. 』

Seeing that Lena liked Esther herself so much, she was also very happy. She cleaned up the mess on the ground. Even if the ground was already dry land, Esther would not just throw trash on the ground, even if it was lost. Nothing contaminates him, but the things he throws are decomposed to speed up the self-healing of the land.

"That...I'm leaving...the village...will be worried. 』

After eating and drinking, Xiao Leina did not go back to the bed to sleep in a satisfied cage according to her desire, but turned around and looked at Esther with a little sadness, even if it was just a night of time together, Xiao Lei. Na also had a great impression of the kind and friendly evil god in front of her.

"Are you going back?Then take all these things back. 』

Seeing that the first friend he thought was about to leave, Esther didn't show the reluctant expression as he imagined.Instead, he took out bags after bags of things from the void with a smile on his face, including clothes, food, daily necessities, and even cooking tools.

"..."

Looking at the large and small bags that were taller than herself in an instant, Little Reina was so frightened that she was speechless for a while.Seeing that Lena didn't speak, Est thought that Lena didn't like her parting gift.

"...Ah, look at my old-fashioned memory, how can I handle so many things with my hands?This is a storage ring, and you can automatically identify the owner when you wear it. 』

Esther clapped his hand vigorously as if suddenly realized, and immediately took out a well-made storage ring, carried it to Little Reina with his tentacles, and raised Little Reina's right hand.Little Lena, who hadn't reacted yet, had Esther put a ring on the ring finger of her right hand. This delicate position made people easily think about it.

"Hmm, it's very suitable. 』

Esther touched his chin and commented while pretending to understand.And Little Leina stared blankly at the right hand with the ring, until the sunlight reflected on the ring pierced Little Leina's eyes, and then she realized what happened just now.

"Why...for me...so good? 』

After a long time, Xiaoleina asked. She didn't understand that as a stranger, it was okay to be rescued by Esther. Not only did she provide food and sleep, but she also gave herself so many gifts when they parted. , If it is said that he is interested in his own body, it is fine, but Esther's physique can't touch others at all. Could it be that Esther wants to play bug horn PLAY?

"why?Because we are friends!Is there anything weird about giving gifts to friends?Wait a minute...Is it just wishful thinking on my part to say that Lena and I are friends? ! 』

After speaking, Esther revealed a pair of big, tearful eyes. Although he was a man, his eyes were filled with tears, and he looked like a sad woman. Even a young and female Reina could not help but be moved when she saw it.

"We're friends! 』

Maybe she was frightened by Esther's sudden appearance of crying, and Reina's words became coherent.

"yes?That's good! 』

Hearing Lena admit that the two are friends, Esther burst into laughter, shining on Lena's heart like a rainbow broken on a rainy day, and the young Lena began to awaken some of the emotions that adults have. .

"these things......"

"Take these things, I don't lack any of them at all! 』

Little Leina originally wanted to reject Esther's kindness. Although she was a friend in name, she had received so many things from people she met for the first time, and she didn't have anything in return. It was difficult for Little Leina to accept it.

However, Esther read Xiao Leina's heart first, seized the opportunity of Xiao Leina's slow speech, and instantly shoved all the items on the ground into the storage ring in Xiao Leina's hand, as if she could speak before. As if the master's words were automatically determined to be false, Esther easily cracked the authority and forced the things into it.

"I...you..."

Xiao Leina was stunned by Astor's operation again. Xiao Leina, who had not studied the storage ring, didn't understand how to use it, even if she wanted to take it out and return it to Astor.

"Okay, okay, just accept it, if you starve to death I will be very embarrassed. 』

"I...um..."

In the end, Lena accepted Esther's gift. As Esther said, if Lena didn't bring anything back, she might not survive this winter. After all, she entered the forest for food. I don't know where the mushrooms have been thrown, and Xiao Leina, who has no food, goes back and waits to die.And now there is a gift from Esther. Not to mention the quality of the food has doubled, and the quantity is too many times. It will not rot due to deterioration in the storage ring. It can be said that Xiaoleina this winter It's hard to die.

"I'm leaving. 』

"Hmm, let's go. 』

Little Lena bowed deeply to Esther, this was the only way she could express her gratitude.Lena, who was facing the direction of the village, couldn't help but turn her head to look at Esther, and said reluctantly.

"Can we...can we meet again? 』

"Of course, there will be no new progress in my work for a long time, which means that I will settle on this land for a long time, as long as you are willing to come back to me at any time, I will always wait here. following you. 』

Esther returned with a reassuring smile. After hearing Esther said that they could still meet, Little Reina's wrinkled face loosened, leaving the forest with a smile on her face, leaving Esther alone. in this dead place.

"Let's go... Well, didn't I say it?We will meet again, just be patient for a while. Sooner or later, we will meet again. We have waited for so many years, so there is no hurry. 』

Seeing Little Lena moving away from her in front of her eyes, Aster, who was smiling all over her face, couldn't hold back her expression any longer. She showed a very lonely expression. The separation of the two felt the saddest. It's Esther himself.
